A long recovery is ahead, but 2-year-old Mason Carney came home in late March 2014 after a month of treatment at Nashville and Atlanta hospitals after being seriously injured in a February traffic accident. He suffered serious head and neck injuries when his child seat was thrown from a car driven by his father, Josh Carney, after it was rear-ended by a pickup truck.
